It happened on a busy street in a neighborhood filled with hotels and restaurants, but city leaders said it should not raise any concern about the safety of these downtown streets.

Scott Summers, a street performer in the area, said the sound he heard coming from the street overnight Sunday startled him.

Summers said he was in a friend's apartment a few floors above a Walgreens, when the storefront was riddled with six gunshots. Police said they came from people in two moving vehicles firing at each other.

No one was hit, but the gunfire raised questions about the safety of the downtown neighborhood.

City leaders said they're confident the shooting incident was isolated and shouldn't raise any cause for concern among visitors to downtown Milwaukee.

"We know, particularly as we come into the festival season, that this is a huge, huge area where people who are visiting the city are going to be safe, and they will be safe," Barrett said.

"Will this damage the reputation of downtown? Absolutely not. A lot of people are convinced it's unsafe already, they never come down. Fine, stay home. But for those who don't, come on downtown, it's a great environment," Milwaukee Alderman Bob Baumann said.

Summers, who knows the downtown streets, agrees. He said the neighborhood is safe and hopes the random gunfire of the weekend doesn't taint that image.

"Everybody that comes downtown tries to maintain a certain standard of how we want downtown to be, and so we don't usually have trouble like that down here," Summers said.

Police told WISN 12 News that they continue to investigate this shooting incident but have yet to come across any surveillance video and have not received any complaints from anyone claiming they were shot at.

Barrett told WISN 12 News that the city will make sure that there is enough police presence to ensure that the downtown area will remain safe.
